Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
1. An interface apparatus operable with motion, the interface apparatus comprising: a motion sensor for sensing motion of a plurality of objects; a controller configured to determine a pattern of the motion based on the sensing, the pattern comprising a direction, speed, scale, position, and shape of the objects; a wind generation module for generating a wind feedback including a property corresponding to the pattern of the motion, the property comprising a wind strength scale, a temperature or direction, wherein the wind generation module generates a first wind feedback including a first property corresponding to a first pattern of the motion, and a second wind feedback including a second property corresponding to a second pattern of the motion; and a display unit, wherein the controller changes a scene displayed on the display unit based on the motion.
A motion-based interface apparatus comprises a motion sensor that detects movements of multiple objects. A controller analyzes these movements to determine their direction, speed, scale, position, and shape, forming a motion pattern. Based on this pattern, a wind generation module creates a wind feedback with corresponding properties like wind strength, temperature, or direction. The system can generate different wind feedbacks (first and second) based on different motion patterns (first and second). A display unit shows a scene that changes based on the detected motion.
2. The interface apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the generated wind feedback further comprises a property regarding at least one smell and component.
The interface apparatus from the previous description featuring motion-based control, wind feedback, and a display unit that responds to motion, further enhances the generated wind feedback to include properties related to smell and specific airborne components, adding an olfactory dimension to the user interaction based on the recognized motion patterns.
3. The interface apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the motion sensor is disposed at one side of the display unit to sense the motion in a 3D space formed above another side of the display unit.
The motion-based interface apparatus, previously described with a motion sensor, wind feedback, and dynamic display, positions the motion sensor on one side of the display. This placement allows the sensor to detect motion occurring in the 3D space above the opposite side of the display, enabling interaction in three-dimensional space.
4. The interface apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the controller determines the direction of the motion based on a scene output on the display unit.
In the described motion-based interface apparatus with motion sensor, wind feedback, and display changes, the controller determines the direction of motion based on the content being displayed on the display unit. The displayed scene influences how the system interprets and reacts to user movements.
5. The interface apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the motion is a plurality of motions, wherein the controller determines the direction of the motion based on the plurality of motions of the plurality of objects.
In the motion-based interface apparatus previously defined, which uses motion sensing, wind feedback, and a dynamic display, the motion detected is comprised of multiple movements. The controller determines the direction of the overall motion by analyzing the combined movements of multiple objects, providing a more nuanced interpretation of user input.
6. The interface apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a storage unit which stores the direction of the wind corresponding to the motion, wherein the controller generates the wind based on the stored direction of the wind.
The motion-based interface apparatus, previously described with motion sensor, wind feedback, and display interactions, includes a storage unit that stores the direction of wind associated with specific motions. The controller uses this stored data to generate wind feedback corresponding to detected movements, providing consistent and pre-defined responses.
7. An interfacing method which is performed based on motion sensed by a motion sensor, the method comprising: sensing motion of a plurality objects; determining a pattern of the motion based on the sensing, the pattern comprising a direction, speed, scale, position, and shape of the objects; generating a wind feedback including a property corresponding to the pattern of the motion, the property comprising a wind strength scale, a temperature or direction, wherein the wind feedback includes a first wind feedback including a first property corresponding to a first pattern of the motion, and a second wind feedback including a second property corresponding to a second pattern of the motion; and displaying a scene on a display unit, wherein the controller changes a scene displayed on the display unit based on the motion.
An interface method uses motion sensed by a motion sensor. The method involves sensing motion of multiple objects, determining a pattern of the motion including direction, speed, scale, position and shape. It generates a wind feedback with properties (wind strength, temperature, direction) based on the motion pattern, providing different wind feedbacks for different patterns. It displays a scene on a display unit, which changes based on the detected motion.
8. The interfacing method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the generated wind feedback further comprises a property regarding at least one of smell and component.
The interfacing method, based on motion sensing, wind feedback, and dynamic display updates from the preceding description, extends the generated wind feedback to include smell and airborne components, creating an olfactory response related to the sensed motion patterns.
9. The interfacing method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the determining operation determines the direction of the motion based on a scene output on the display unit.
The interfacing method based on motion sensing, wind feedback, and a changing display, determines motion direction based on the content displayed on the display unit, thus linking on-screen events to user actions.
10. The interfacing method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the motion is a plurality of motions, wherein the determining operation determines the direction of the motion based on the plurality of motions of the plurality of objects.
The interfacing method, which senses motion, generates wind feedback, and updates a display, analyzes multiple simultaneous movements of multiple objects to determine the overall direction of motion, providing a comprehensive interpretation of user input.
11. The interfacing method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the direction of the wind is a pre-stored property corresponding to the motion.
In the interfacing method involving motion sensing, wind feedback, and dynamic displays, the direction of the wind feedback is predetermined and stored, linking specific motions to pre-defined wind responses.
12. An interface method based on hand gestures, the method comprising: sensing motion of a hand gesture; determining a pattern of the motion based on the sensing, the pattern comprising a direction, speed, scale, position, and shape of the hand gesture, by comparing the sensed hand gesture motion with a predetermined lookup table of a plurality of hand gestures; and blowing air feedback including a property corresponding to the pattern of the motion, the property comprising a wind strength scale, a temperature or direction, wherein the air feedback includes a first wind feedback including a first property corresponding to a first pattern of the motion, and a second wind feedback including a second property corresponding to a second pattern of the motion; and displaying a scene on a display unit, wherein the controller changes a scene displayed on the display unit based on the motion.
An interface method uses hand gestures. It senses hand gesture motion, determines a pattern from the motion (direction, speed, scale, position, shape) by comparing it to a lookup table of hand gestures. It then blows air feedback (wind strength, temperature, direction) based on the motion pattern, and can vary the air feedback properties depending on the exact gesture. Finally, it updates a scene on a display unit based on the recognized hand gesture.
